Subject: [BUG] kernel BUG in team driver: buffer overflow in team_add_slave()
Date: Mon, 8 Jun 2026 15:30:00 +0530 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <3ad19e86-234c-408f-896e-0d6c774fea49@linux.ibm.com> (raw)
Hi Team ,
I encountered a kernel crash while running selftests on kernel 7.1.0-rc6
on a POWER10 system. The crash occurs when adding a slave device to a
team interface, triggered by FORTIFY_SOURCE detecting a buffer overflow.
**System Information:**
- Kernel: 7.1.0-rc6-160099.42-default+ (commit d548c6f4301b)
- Architecture: powerpc64le (ppc64le)
- Hardware: IBM POWER10 (9043-MRX), pSeries
- Config: CONFIG_FORTIFY_SOURCE=y
**Crash Location:**
[ 3492.897824][T77143] kernel BUG at lib/string_helpers.c:1044!
[ 3492.898057][T77143] NIP [c000000000ac1120] __fortify_panic+0x18/0x28
